These kind of things do happen quite often if the banking industry is examined as a whole. If it tends to happen to an individual bank on a recurring basis then the depositors should move their money. I myself have been in the position of living paycheck to paycheck in the past and I've nobody to blame for it but myself. The bank is at fault but if someone cannot survive a couple of days without their deposit going in then they should seriously look at how they manage money. If an unforseen emergency arises then they are going to find themselves in dire straits.
I spend way too much money on software including original copies of SS,SS2,FO&FO2, but I don't for a minute believe that this guy's (and others) pirated copies caused this. It's pure bottom line thinking without any real regard for true innovation or even the long term bottom line.
I just tried a couple of these services and have yet to receive a game, but I did notice that they seem to have problems keeping enough new releases in stock. For example on govojo out of the 10 titles I picked only 1 was listed as available. Netflix seems to have overcome this (due to critical mass of subscribers?) and I almost never have to wait for any title.
I agree, but I've got too many devices they don't play anything but MP3 too switch. If my riocar gets an update that let's it play OOG, that might push me over.

It's not popular but it's definately not dead. Myself and several of my friends use MD. On a recent business trip to Boston, I observed many students walking around with them. It was never meant to compete with CDs. It's original competition was cassette tape, but I believe that competition has now shifted to MP3 players. I'm not sorry I invested in MD 8 years ago. It served it's purpose (Mobile recordable format) and now I've moved on to MP3 players. I'll continue to use my MD player until it breaks.
I've always remembered Emeril Lagasse's take on this... "You cook with recipes, but you bake with formulas". Cooking with a recipe is more of an art whereas baking is closer to a science. Of course if you are a fan of Alton's show, you know there's a lot of science in both.:-)

And if Cmdr. Taco gets subpoenaed by the DEA your info plus xxx-9333 means you'll be looking to score somewhere else.

Splenda is rendered inert and the body cannot metabolize it because of the chlorine atom added to the sucrose not because it may be left-handed.
